I'm honored to be invited last minute to teach at Contemporary Folk Week at the Swannanoa Gathering! I am filling in for a staff member who is ill and I'm jumping in last minute! I join an amazing faculty including Dar Williams, Tom Paxton, Jim Lauderdale, Red Molly’s Laurie MacAllister, John Gorka, Cliff Eberhardt, Joe Craven, Ellis Paul, David Wilcox, Nora Jane Struthers, Greg Greenway and Vance Gilbert! I'll be teaching "Wild, Wild Voice" and "Songs, Movement, and Improvisation." Needless to say, I'm super excited to be back at this wonderful campus, where I led the "Sing, Swing, and String" program 2000-2007!

This is a Spontaneous Improvisation with the audience at Steve's Live Music in Atlanta. It is a song of gratitude to live music, to all the musicians who make playing so much fun, and to folks who come to listen and are also willing to become part of the music, including my mom!
